Evaluation of investment projects under uncertainty: multi-criteria approach using interval data

Abstract

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have evolved for various types of applications. In the past, even small variations to existing methods have led to the creation of new avenues for research. Thus, in this study, we review the MCDM methods in investment management and examine the advantages and disadvantages of these methods in a risk environment. In addition, we study the effectiveness of investment projects using these methods. The analysis of MCDM methods performed in this study provides a guide for the use of these methods, especially the ones based on interval data, in investment project analysis. Furthermore, we propose a combination of multi-criterial selection and interval preferences to evaluate investment projects. Our method improves on the method of calculating economic efficiency based on a one-dimensional criterion and sensitivity analysis, though our proposal involves complicated calculations.

Modeling a Logistics Hub Using the Digital Footprint Method—The Implication for Open Innovation Engineering

“…The specific strategy chosen for handling cargo and, accordingly, scientifically grounded control algorithms serves as an ideological platform for modeling; respectively, the business model is the same platform for designing and planning business processes [26,27]. The main requirement for building business processes is formulated strictly and concisely: to create value for consumers and exclude any unnecessary or obviously needless activitiesit applies to each individual business process and to all of their organizational set of processes that form a particular business [28][29][30][31][32].…”

General Methods of Analysis in Decision-Making and Selection Efficiency of Investment Projects

“…Это позволяет увеличить объемы средств, направляемых в последующем на новые капитальные вложения. Таким образом, политика ускоренной амортизации способствует росту собственных финансовых возможностей предприятий для осуществления капитальных вложений, а также снижению доли заемных средств в инвестициях, направленных на модернизацию [12][13][14].…”

This increasing attention to students are understandable; the context of aging societies, complexity of environment and increasing importance of sustainable entrepreneurship shifts the emphasis on development of new generation of leaders , which were able to set correct goals, and implement them efficiently in vide variety of situations and equipped with enormous flows of information including the big data on the job markets of the future (Strielkowski and Rausser 2013;Koudelková and Svobodová 2014;Kalyugina et al 2015;Čábelková et al 2015;Strielkowski et al 2016;Zielińska 2016;Durglishvili 2017;Orlova et al 2018;Plenkina et al 2018;Ragulina et al 2018;Naushad et al 2018;Białowąs 2018;Shvetsova et al 2018;Strielkowski 2018;Mikhaylov 2018;Kubeš andRančák 2018, Tvaronavičienė 2018).…”
